Another Successful WW meal!! - Pork Loin with Pear Chutney

Last night I told BGS that we were having pork for dinner tonight....he said "I don't like pork"....I told him that we had 2 pork loins in the freezer that I purchased prior to him making this decision.  So he caved :)

This recipe starts with 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of OJ - now there's a pungent combo.....wait..almost forgot....

Tonight's players: yeah, sorry, no pictures tonight...was too focused on getting the meal cooked before BGS got home - anyway....1 2lb pork loin, cinnamon, coriander, cloves and pears.  Combine the liquids and spices in a pot.  Add the chopped pears and cook until the liquid is nearly gone and the pears are soft - remove from heat and let cool.

Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and spoon half of the chutney over the loin. Cook in a 400 (F) degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer reads 160.

Allow the pork loin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into rounds.  Spoon 1/4 cup over 3 slices and you have yourself a meal.  I served this with brown rice and green beans.  BGS was happily surprised after he walked into the house at the exact moment that the apple cider vinegar/OJ was it's most pungent.  I was surprised the pork had as much flavor as it did since I hadn't sprinkled any spices on it before cooking it.
